Description
Exquisite brooch from a real mussel cameo with finely cut representation of the goddess Athena in profile to the left. The goddess of wisdom and struggle is depicted here as a young woman with a helmet and plaits knotted under her chin. Clothes, helmet and hair are particularly detailed and modelled with great care.
The cameo sits in a delicately corded and embodied frame of yellow gold 375 / 9 Kt (tested and guaranteed) and has a simple needling with C-hook.
The exquisite and particularly detailed cut mussel cameo was created around 1820 in England and is a very beautiful example of the reception of antiquity in the 19th century.
